Waseem Ahmed - Drenched In Red


This image is created by myself titled "Drenched in Red". When taking this image I aimed to show, similar to Picasso's Blue Period paintings how through the use of one colour or tone in the composition of an image, you can effectively evoke emotions in the viewer. The colour red is one that connotes mystery, passion, intrigue, anger and frustration to name a few. In my media product I aim to have red as a prominent colour against the backdrop of a dark and gloomy room similar to this image. The red curtains with surging bright light cover the surroundings and make them secondary, the walls are simply shadows to the viewers eye. In doing this, the prominence of the red and its connotations surpass the viewers own interpretation and the contrast of lines, brightness and darkness transform this image into one of claustrophobia and distress. Thus effectively portraying how the tone of a setting can alter the meanings of a setting.
